When Xiao Ran was back to the team base, he received Liu Xuejing’s message and found out that she had also gone to cheer for him at the match .
After knowing that so many of the
After eating dinner at the team base, Xiao Ran flirted with Liu Xuejing on WeChat before going to the second string roster’s training place .
This might be the second string team, but they were actually JAY Team’s substitute members . Three of them had already participated in official matches as substitutes .
But their performances were very mediocre, therefore, they only competed two or three times .
The other two were totally newcomers .
One was called Gao Shuai who didn’t have any official match experiences and the other was called Wu Xiaofan who didn’t have any official match experiences either .
The two of them were almost the same age but Xiao Ran heard the coach saying that he had great expectations for Gao Shuai . Originally, the coach was planning to swap the mid-laner out for Gao Shuai to accumulate some experiences .
But when Xiao Ran arrived, the coach gave up on the thought .
If there weren’t any hopes to strive for the top three ranks, it was fine to allow the newcomers to gain some experiences . But now that there were hopes of making it to the top three, they definitely had to do this steadily .
As for Wu Xiaofan, he was considered a newcomer with considerable talents . He might have been chosen to enter JAY Team’s second string roster, his future was still unknown .
Perhaps during the next season, Wu Xiaofan would no longer be here .
For a newcomer like him, it was impossible to control his own fate and he was only a youth .
There was a huge disparity in statuses between Wu Xiaofan and Gao Shuai but they didn’t have any schemes . As their ages were similar, they were on rather good terms and would always hang out together .

Just as Xiao Ran was going to open the door to the second string roster’s practice room, he heard someone yelling, “Xiaofang, go and get some drinks for everyone . ”
“Oh okay . ” Wu Xiaofan responded helplessly .
The person that ordered Wu Xiaofan was this season’s substitute member that appeared in the professional matches the most . He was already considered the core member of the second string roster and was naturally considered to be the boss among the second string roster .
He didn’t dare to order around Gao Shuai who might become the future main roster member of JAY Team, as such, he ordered Wu Xiaofan without any reserve .
This didn’t happen purely in JAY Team, every team’s rookies and newcomers would suffer the same thing . It was normal for them to carry the bags and become errand runners for the core members .
“What do you want to drink?” Wu Xiaofan acknowledged to get the drinks but didn’t forget to ask his good friend .
As a result, before Gao Shuai spoke, the other three had already started to order their drinks without reserve .
“I want a bottle of green tea . ”
“I want a coke . ”
“I want a coke too . ”
The other two were veteran members and were already here before Jay Chou bought the team . Their skills were just slightly inferior and had been arranged as substitutes .
But they were always prepared to replace any of the main roster members who were deteriorating .
They might not be considered eye-catching, but they were much better than Wu Xiaofan .

“I will drink anything . ” At the end, Gao Shuai spoke softly .
Wu Xiaofan went to take the drinks and distributed it to everyone while the three veteran substitutes didn’t even say thank you and were in a discussion .
“Is God Kun a Mid-laner and Jungler? Why would he play as a Support?” This person was the substitute for Support .
Originally, he would be able to switch around with the main roster’s Support and if he worked harder, he might have the chance to be on the main roster next year .
Who would have expected an ax-wielder to cut in out of nowhere and replace the main roster’s Support . As a result, he didn’t have any more chances .
“Who knows . ”
The rest of the people didn’t wish to talk too much about Xiao Ran . After all, if they wished to continue staying at JAY, it was best to talk less about him .
“Didn’t we just watch the match together? God Kun’s Support is too dazzling, I simply worship him!” As soon as Wu Xiaofan recalled the match earlier, his eyes were shining with light .
“Oh? When did Xiaofang learn how to bootlick?” The substitute Support was very unhappy and when speaking to Wu Xiaofan, his tone had changed totally .
“Hehe… I didn’t . But God Kun is really my idol . ” Wu Xiaofan could only let out a foolish smile and didn’t dare to say anything else . Otherwise, he was going to be bullied again later .
“Alright, time for us to work hard too . Let’s start the ranked matches . ” Gao Shui interrupted the conversation and helped Wu Xiaofan out of the awkward situation .
After looking at the time, it was already 7pm and it was indeed time for practice .
The others didn’t say anything else and started the training .
After the match started, Xiao Ran opened the door and stood behind them to watch the ranked match .

“Xiaofang, go!”
“I…” Wu Xiaofan was startled, “I don’t think we can fight this one…”
“Hurry up and go! Don’t cower!!” The Support urged .
Wu Xiaofan didn’t want to go but after the repeated urging from the Support, he had no choice but to control his level 2 Sivir and charge .
The opposition had Alistar, If Wu Xiaofan could enter JAY’s second string roster, his standard should be of first-class . If this was an evenly matched 2v2, Wu Xiaofan wouldn’t be afraid .
However, Wu Xiaofan could already see that the opposition’s bot-lane had good mechanics and great teamwork .
Furthemore, it was a formidable combination and after his calculation, Wu Xiaofan determined that this level 2 fight wasn’t feasible!
Knowing that this fight wasn’t going to work but his Support was asking him to charge in . Wu Xiaofan immediately had a lack of confidence .
He was a complete newcomer without any professional match experiences and would regularly be bullied .
In such circumstances, Wu Xiaofan would do everything carefully . He didn’t seek for accomplishments but would seek for no mistakes .
After starting the fight, his health started to decline rapidly and immediately retreated and attempted to pull away .
“What are you running for?! You are an ADC and you are such a coward, what are you doing!?” The Support was furious .
Wu Xiaofan knew that if he turned back now, he would be giving the opposition a Double Kill . If he ran now, he would still survive .
But when being scolded by the Support, Wu Xiaofan felt anxious and his hands messed up too . But it was already too late and he didn’t know what else to do .
He didn’t have a choice but to constantly evade the attacks . As for whether he could escape or have any chances to counterattack, he was actually at a loss .
Gao Shuai who sat by the side was also feeling anxious for Wu Xiaofan as he quickly said, “Exchange kills or Flash and escape . ”
Wu Xiaofan was anxious and said, “It is impossible to exchange, there isn’t enough damage . ”
Xiao Ran originally wanted to sigh and shake his head, but after hearing Wu Xiaofan’s words, he was suddenly interested…
“WTF!” The Support gave up both his summoner spells and was still killed by the opposition . He instantly smashed his mouse on the table .
“The f**k! Do you even know how to play? I got framed to death by you again! It is truly hopeless to play bot-lane together with you!”
“I, I…” Wu Xiaofan said ‘I’ repeatedly before finally lowering his head and said softly, “Sorry . ”
“That…” Xiao Ran thought for a moment, “Wu Xiaofan, right?”
When Xiao Ran spoke, the others finally realized his existence and quickly greeted him .
Xiao Ran shook his hand before asking Wu Xiaofan, “Xiaofan, did you feel that you aren’t able to take down the Support earlier? Is the damage not enough?”
Wu Xiaofang was startled before he nodded speechlessly
“Mm, continue then . Don’t bother about me . ”
Xiao Ran looked at Wu Xiaofan with intrigued eyes .
